I can't believe he got a 3 year deal with so much guaranteed. Assume it's frontloaded

Exactly, but a lot of people with "worst kept secret ?" type of posts mistook interest for closed deals.

*certain bears insiders

if you have old man sensibilities like me, you are enjoying the s%*# eating of bears insiders who very loudly tried to intimate that they knew things we lay persons did not only for them not to happen.

I think that's likely especially with this pronounced "7 blue chippers" from the bears. But that means bears fans may want to prepare themselves for one of the top CBs to go too.

absolutely incredible. What a king.

I’m a bit annoyed Rodriguez is in bham.

Literally all I care about is benintendi not batting third.

Damn Iguchi looks great. I can’t remember is he managing now?

I feel like today will be more annoying than exciting. Any top player signs will be like "why didn't we get him" and anyone that signs will be like "they overpayed" and both will be true? That said, I hope we get an out of nowhere top player (we have a lot of developmental secondary players, it'd be nice to get an established guy). The nice thing about DJ Moore is that was the one position there was no chance we'd be able to really solve in FA. Everywhere else we can at least land solid starters. Though actual starting pass rushing edges ...probably not.

I like edmunds but this is the reality of that position I’d rather get the deals in it and spend where there are non (OL, DL, WR)

These draft trades are pretty straight forward. Unless you value Moore as a third round pick or lower this is right in line with other trades. But so would tell you there is no chance in hell the giants wouldn’t have paid their #26 pick for DJ Moore this year.

That would be not desirable (though amazingly still an upgrade on the bears)

I think this is much preferable considering: - This wasn’t a great wideout draft unless you were looking for a slot receiver - the FA market for WR looks like it will continue to be dry - You have to make the 5th year option decision on fields by end of next year Hopkins, Evans may have been great this year, but they are on the precipice of age declines. Those can happen fast. I don’t think there is a better receiver than Moore coming available this offseason. And lastly, this weakens the panthers, which may lead to a much better first rounder next year. They have a great oline, but the skill players are rough for a rookie qb. If they go a raw qb like Richardson, we are talking about a darnold led team with less weapons.

It is when the QBs combine for only 3100 yards.

The point is Moores contract is not a penalty to any acquiring team. You aren’t getting a discount because of his contract which is incredibly team friendly.

Touchdowns eh.

Pff incredibly conservative on trading draft picks but STILL

Holy smokes sometimes soxtalk poster Aaron leming posted this excellent article on what bears could expect that basically NAILED this: https://247sports.com/nfl/chicago-bears/ContentGallery/Establishing-a-realistic-baseline-of-trade-down-scenario-for-the-Chicago-Bears--203281615/Amp/ check scenario 1 under panthers

I guess the football knowers are here but I don’t know I’ve always thought DJ Moore was great, but he has been in shitty offenses with awful QBs, not much different production than AJ Brown had in Tn

Moore is already on his contract. He’s got 3 more years on a good deal. He was signed to an extension last year. Moore is really good, he’s somehow had worse QBs than the Bears.

Ah man my only sadness is that it’s over

Let’s gokkkoooookkkokkk

Isn't that still the medical teams fault?

what can you even say at this point? But at very least it has been a decade of extremely shitty medical situations that bulls continuously throw up their hands.
